Today is my birthday..
and along with all the usual "special" messages from friends and up coming celebrations I will remember this one more than usual because of my infatuation with all things Morgan and the recent events.

I had planned to visit Geneva but instead did a cycle tour in Holland with my son making the journey in my P4SS...a time well spent.

I applaud Morgan's new models and understand that company changes had to be made to ensure the future of the marque.

I love the new +6 (especially if a manual arrives) and hopefully it will appeal to more "new" owners to the marque.

Would I swop ?...no.. I love my galvanised chassis cart springed noisy "classic" car..we had a blast driving to Holland with no roof in the rain !!! but given the funds and space I would have a hardtopped +6 and will play with speccing the car on the Morgan website.

Sad that Morgan will no longer be privately owned but nothing is forever and the survival of the company is very important.

Who knows maybe the "quirkiness" or quality/build issues depending on your point of view will be a thing of the past with the new investment.

The King is dead..long live the King !!!
